2. Determine the phenotype for each genotype
using the information provided about
SpongeBob.
Yellow body color is dominant to blue.
YY _________________ Yy _________________
yy _________________
Square shape is dominant to round.
SS _________________ Ss _________________

3. For each phenotype, give the genotypes that
are possible for Patrick.
A tall head (T) is dominant to short (t).
Tall = ________________________ Short =
__________________________
Pink body color (P) is dominant to yellow (p).
Pink body = ___________________ Yellow body =

4. SpongeBob SquarePants recently met SpongeSusie
Roundpants at a dance. SpongeBob is heterozygous
for his square shape, but SpongeSusie is round. Create a Punnett
square to show the possibilities that would
result if SpongeBob and SpongeSusie had children. HINT: Read
question #2!
A. List the possible genotypes and phenotypes for their children.
B. What are the chances of a child with a square shape? ____ out
of ____ or ____%
C. What are the chances of a child with a round shape? ____ out
of ____ or ____%
5. Patrick met Patti at the dance. Both of them are
heterozygous for their pink body color, which is
dominant
over a yellow body color. Create a Punnett square to
show the possibilities that would result if Patrick and
Patti had children. HINT: Read question #3!
A. List the possible genotypes and phenotypes for
their children.
B. What are the chances of a child with a pink body?
____ out of ____ or ____%
C. What are the chances of a child with a yellow body?
____ out of ____ or ____%
Assume that one of Squidward’s sons, who is
heterozygous for the light blue body color,
married a girl that was also heterozygous. Create
a Punnett square to show the possibilities that
would result if they had children.
A. List the possible genotypes and phenotypes
for their children.Geno – BB,Bb,bb Phenoblueskin and green skin
B. What are the chances of a child with light blue
skin? __75__%

8. Mr. Krabbs and his wife recently had a Lil’ Krabby, but it has
not been a happy occasion for them. Mrs.
Krabbs has been upset since she first saw her new baby who
had short eyeballs. She claims that the hospital
goofed and mixed up her baby with someone else’s baby. Mr.
Krabbs is homozygous for his tall eyeballs,
while his wife is heterozygous for her tall eyeballs. Some
members of her family have short eyes, which is
the recessive trait. Create a Punnett square using T for the
dominant gene and t for the recessive one.
A. List the possible genotypes and phenotypes for their
children.geno – TT, Tt Pheno – Tall eyeballs
B. Did the hospital make a mistake? Explain your answer.

Yes, they could
not have a short
eyeballed kid
Everyone in Squidward’s family has light blue skin, which is the
dominant trait for body color in his
hometown of Squid Valley. His family brags that they are a
“purebred” line. He recently married a nice girl
who has light green skin, which is a recessive trait. Create a
Punnett square to show the possibilities that
would result if Squidward and his new bride had children. Use B to
represent the dominant gene and b to
represent the recessive gene.
A. List the possible genotypes and phenotypes for their children.
B. What are the chances of a child with light blue skin? _100___%
C. What are the chances of a child with light green skin? _0___%
D. Would Squidward’s children still be considered purebreds?
Explain!No, they now have the
